A phosphetene is an unsaturated four-membered organophosphorus heterocycle containing one phosphorus atom.[1] It is a heavier analog of an azetine, or dihydroazete. The first synthesis of a stable, isolable phosphetene was reported in 1985 by Mathey et al.[2] via ring expansion of a phosphirene-metal carbonyl complex. Since then, other synthesis routes for phosphetenes have been developed such as cyclization of phosphabutadienes, [2 + 2] cycloaddition, intramolecular arrangement, addition, and through organometallic intermediates.

The latter is of interest to the application, where synthesis through organometallic intermediates led to colored phosphetene compounds that were able to be incorporated in OLED devices.[3] Phosphetenes can also participate in reactions involving the lone pair of electrons at the phosphorus, ring opening, or ring expansion.

Nomenclature[edit]

According to the extended Hantzsch-Widman system of naming heterocyclic parent hydrides, the saturated four-membered ring containing one phosphorus atom is called a phosphetane.[4] The presence of one double bond gives a name of phosphetene. Alternately, it can be called a dihydrophosphete, as a phosphete is the cyclobutadiene-like structure containing two double bonds.

There are different constitutional isomers possible, depending on whether the double bond is attached to the phosphorus or not. The phosphorus is assigned position number 1 of the ring, and then the other structural features can be numbered relative to it. They can be distinguished based on where the double bond is in the phosphetene (Δ1-phosphetene vs Δ2-phosphetene) or where the double bond is missing as compared with the phosphete (1,2-dihydrophosphete vs 3,4-dihydrophosphete, the latter also called 2,3-dihydrophosphete).[5]

Synthesis[edit]

Via ring expansion[edit]

Isolation of the first phosphetene was reported by Mathey et al. in 1985 by the thermolysis of phosphirene-metal pentacarbonyl complexes in the presence of carbon monoxide.[2] This resulted in a 34% yield of a solid phosphorus analogue of unsaturated β-lactams with orange color, where the phosphorus atom was coordinated to the metal pentacarbonyl complex. Mathey et al. then proceeded to decomplex the metal pentacarbonyl complex from the phosphetene, but oxidation at the phosphorus takes place spontaneously, resulting in a λ5σ4 1,2-dihydrophosphete oxide solid with a yellow color.

First isolable phosphetene synthesis reported by Mathey et al.

The reaction of phosphatriafulvenes with azides resulted in the ring expansion into 1H-2-iminophosphetes as reported by Regitz et al. in 1994.[6] However, in the presence of excess azide, the Staudinger reaction can take place, which transforms the yellow λ3σ3 1H-2-iminophosphete into a λ5σ4 iminophosphorane product.

Synthesis of 1H-2-iminophosphetes by ring expansion of phosphatriafulvenes performed by Regitz et al. (1994). (R group of the azide includes 1-naphthyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, and 3-nitrophenyl.)

Streubel et al. (1999) were exploring the reaction of phosphirene-metal complexes with various reactants and found that a 1,2-dihydro-1-phosphet-2-one complex can be obtained, in a mixture with other compounds, from the reaction of phosphirene-metal complexes with diethylamine.[7]

Reaction of phosphirene-metal complex with diethylamine yields a mixture of three products in a near 1:1:1 ratio.

Via cyclization of phosphabutadienes[edit]

Ring formation from phosphabutadienes was observed in when Nielson et al. (1987) obtained 1,2-dihydrophosphetes from the reaction of 1-[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]phosphadiene with Me3SiN3 or elemental sulfur through a 3-coordinate (methylene)phosphorane intermediate.[8]

Reaction of 1-[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino] phosphadiene with trimethylsilyl azide or elemental sulfur.

Grützmaker et al. (1993) reacted halogenated ylides with AlCl3 to form dihydrophosphetium salts in an intramolecular cyclization reaction.[9] Aromaticity is restored by subsequent reaction with pyridine, then a strong base, sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, to form a neutral λ5-phosphete with a highly polarized P=C bond.

Via [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions[edit]

The formation of 1,2-dihydrophosphetes from [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions involves the reaction of metal phosphaalkane complexes with alkenes or alkynes as reported by various groups, such as Mathey et al. (1990)[12] and Boese et al. (1994).[13]

Via intramolecular rearrangement[edit]

Via organometallic intermediates[edit]

The synthesis of 1,2-dihydrophosphetes by Doxsee et al. in 1989 from diphenyltitanacyclobutene (prepared from Tebbe's reagent) and dichlorophenylphosphine was remarkable due to the clean synthesis and workup and the obtained white 1,2-dihydrophosphetes were inert toward oxidation and in high yield (66%).[17] Mathey et al. (1996) also used Tebbe's reagent to prepare a novel bidentate ligand consisting of phosphorus heterocycles of 1-phosphinine-1,2-dihydrophosphetes.[18]

Majoral et al. (1997) were able to synthesize a 1,2-dihydrophosphete-zirconium complex from intramolecular coupling of dialkynyl phosphane and zirconocene-benzyne.[19]

The complex was then treated with an acid to yield a π-extended dihydrophosphetes. This method was applied by Hissler et al. in 2014 to observe the optical and redox properties of π-extended dihydrophosphetes.[3] With the introduction of various electron-rich substiuents on the π-backbone, the dihydrophosphetes displayed shifting of color in the visible region varying from blue to green, which was tested in a multilayer OLED device. As of 2023, Cummins et al. have been able to synthesize free, uncomplexed phosphet-2-ones with high yield using a phosphinidene transfer agent derived from anthracene.[20] The reactivity of the phosphet-2-ones with stabilized Wittig reagents at 100 °C led to a high yield of 1,2-dihydrophosphete products with a backbone structure that resembles Hissler's polyunsaturated dihydrophosphetes used in the OLED devices.

Reactivity[edit]

Reactivity at the phosphorus atom[edit]

Phosphetenes that have a lone pair at the phosphorus atom behave similarly to a two-electron P-donor, such as the ability to coordinate to metals. Doxsee et al. (1991) discovered that structural changes in phosphetene metal complexes are consistent with an increased s-character of the phosphorus.[21]

Examples of coordination of the lone pair on the phosphorus to a metal center.

Ring-opening followed by cycloaddition[edit]

Ring-opening of phosphetenes leads to phosphabutadiene derivatives that can further react. Mathey et al. reacted 1,2-dihydrophosphete tungsten pentacarbonyl complexes at high temperatures with dienophiles through [4 + 2] cycloaddition to obtain 6-membered phosphorus heterocycles, through a masked 1-phoshabutadiene intermediate.[22] They found from X-ray crystal structure analysis that the bond between the phosphorus and sp3 carbon is long and weak (1.904 Å), which leads to the equilibrium of the 1,2-dihydrophosphete with 1-phosphabutadiene. Doxsee et al. observed Michael addition to 1,3,4-triphenyl-1,2-dihydrophosphete with various compounds to form 6-membered phosphorus heterocycles as well.[23]

Ring expansion[edit]

Ring strain in four-membered phosphetene rings can be released by ring expansion to five-membered phosphole rings, which were studied by Mathey et al. for the incorporation of O, S, Se, and Pt[24][25] and Schmidpeter et al. for the incorporation of a phosphorus atom.[16]
